BOS Calf Leg Splint Hind Leg Green 41 cm

When a calf is born with a contracted flexor tendon, the fetlock joint is caused to knuckle under, causing serious limitation to the mobility of the calf. With application of the BOS splint the calf should have normal mobility immediately. The BOS (Bovine Orthopedic Splint) splint is applied to the back of the leg, with the bottom edge of the splint at ground level. Remove the splint after 4-5 days. Splint length 41cm overall. Supplied with 3.5m roll of 7.5cm elastic adhesive for secure application. Note: The BOS splint can be slightly modified/molded to suit the leg by use of a hot air gun or hair dryer. Be sure to note ‘TOP’ marking on splint. Replacement bandages 207513 and Front Leg Splints (46cm) 210350 also available. DOUBLE SPLINTING Splints can be used on calf front legs together, but the calf must be monitored closely to ensure it is able to recline and rise without assistance. (Most times they learn fairly quickly to do so).
